Sympathy Card for a Color Challenge

Unfortunately I needed some sympathy cards so I used the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#177 here. The colors to use are Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade and River Rock.
The base is Night of Navy card stock and then I added some Lucky Limeade. I used River Rock DSP from the Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack on the bottom. On the top I stamped the greeting from Love and Sympathy in Lucky Limeade. I used my Lucky Limeade and Night of Navy Stampin' Write markers to color in the flower stamp. Finally, some 1/4 inch Night of Navy grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Love & Sympathy
Papers: Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade and Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack
Inks: Lucky Limeade Classic pad and Lucky Limeade and Night of Navy Stampin' Write markers
Accessories: 1/4 inch Night of Navy grosgrain
